[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] Runtime detection for the number of processors/cores

[Philipp Meinen]

Hello FFmpeg Team

The attached patch is an attempt to allow runtime detection for the
number of online processors/cores instead of having to specify the
number of threads. The idea is to type:
    ffmpeg -threads 0 ....
to use as many threads as processors/cores are online.

I guess cmdutils.c/h is not the right file to place the new
detection function. To which file should this function belong?

Comments welcome :)

Regards, Philipp
